Interest on savings is paid in the form of a yearly dividend. When you join Clockwise you become a shareholder. This means that at the end of each year, any cash surplus is divided between members as a dividend on their savings.

Clockwise is a financial co-operative run by members for members. Any profits are reinvested into the development of the credit union and divided between members as a dividend on savings. We use these savings to provide our members affordable low cost loans. Any reserves are not invested in the financial markets, your money is not used for big ‘fat cat’ bonuses. Also we provide a safe and affordable alternative to those at risk of loan sharks and other illegal or usury lenders. Where banks turn down customers because they have a poor history or are low paid, we do not. We look at everyone as individuals and recognise that anyone can get into financial difficulties from time to time. This means that if you have been a victim of circumstance we will still look at your application with fresh eyes. In accordance with the Credit Union Act 1979, Clockwise educates its members on the wise use of money and promotes responsible saving and lending.

Clockwise offer a basic loan where you can borrow from as little as £50 up to £7,500 depending on individual circumstances with competitive interest rates and repayments to suit everyone’s budget.

Payroll membership is a scheme Clockwise offers local organisations to enable them to help their employees save. Employees specify the amount they wish to save and this is deducted from their salary via payroll and transferred directly into their Clockwise account. If the employee wishes to apply for a loan the repayment amount is made in the same way, via payroll. Payroll membership offers a lower loan rate of 12.7% representative APR.

Provided your employer is located in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, anyone can approach their employer about becoming a Payroll Membership partner. Click here to view the existing Payroll Membership partnerships. We can also approach your organisation on your behalf.

If your employer is an existing partner (see Payroll Membership page) simply click apply now from that page and complete the form, ensuring you select your employer from the dropdown box when prompted. There will be a contact within your organisation who deals with Payroll Membership and will make the necessary arrangements with Clockwise to complete the set up so that payments are taken via payroll deduction.
